Aug 7, 2012, 6:54 AM | Updated: 7:56 am

The husband of the victim in a hit and run on Fox Island is credited with finding the driver who had evaded police.

Amy Wickstrom suffered a concussion and serious bumps and bruises in the July 12 collision with a driver who hit her while she was riding her bike.

KING 5 reports Wickstrom’s husband Craig was keeping an eye out for the suspect’s vehicle.

“This isn’t that big of a community and just every time I was out and about, you keep your eyes peeled,” said Wickstrom.

Wickstrom eventually spotted a white SUV with some visible damage. He took pictures and sent the images to authorities.

Police will reportedly charge the suspect for vehicular assault and leaving the crash scene.
